What a thorough breakdown — the fact that you’ve tied each tool to a specific use case rather than just listing features makes this genuinely actionable. This is the kind of post that actually saves people time.
Completely agree on the text rendering front too. It’s one of those friction points that you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve wasted an hour trying to get legible copy inside an image. Been using https://gpt-image2.net lately and it’s been the most reliable solution I’ve found for that — accurate text, multiple styles, free tier with no hassle. Glad more people are starting to talk about this!
